I have to say I'm disappointed with this pump, but for the price I paid I likely shouldn't complain.

This is much closer to a 70gph-80gph pump, no kidding. The difference is barely noticeable from the 60gph pump I bought this to replace, even when running wide open. That said, it does come with standard adapters for 3/8" and 1/2" inside diameter attachments. I've learned in the DIY water garden world standardization is a plus, not a guarantee, thus the kudo.

Unfortunately the Amazon description doesn't tell you the adapters are all you'll get. The manual (universal to the product line no doubt) for this pump will inform you that if you buy the SP-160 which is one step up and not much more you'll also receive not only the 3/8", and 1/2" adapters, but a flow control valve, a volcano nozzle, a water bell nozzle, and enough raising pipe for a 24" display. Needless to say, it's a much better deal. The VP-300 model has all that and more and I'm guessing will approximate the flow I'm looking for. Though I'm disappointed with this one I did find a use for it in making my turtle spit. I think I'll try the VP-300 for my standing fountain.

been using it for a few weeks now, good pump. Dont be deceived my the name, nothing "solar" about it. Its 110v plug in, I just got a green garden cord and an outdoor timer.

This little pump works well with our small fountain. In our application the head is about 18 inches high and this pump produces just enough volume to be pleasing. If you are pumping higher than 18 inches, you might select the next size larger.

Its a nice little pump but not for any big work. Nice and quiet. Great for little fountains or indoor statues.

Pump is of good quality and works well. Don't know the long term results but so far so good. Happy with the purchase and cost savings over local suppliers.
